6 Reasons Why You Should Support Love Your Melon
Jennifer Friese Photography

Being an ambassador for Love Your Melon is by far one of the best things to ever happen to me. What Love Your Melon does is incredible. Its an apparel brand that was created by 2 college students to put hats on kids battling cancer. Think about that. 2 college kids decided to create a company that would change the nation.

Why wouldn’t you want to be a part of that?

I can think of a hundred reasons why you SHOULD support Love Your Melon, but just to give you the jist of it, I will give you 6.

1. The products are adorable.

Between hats, mugs, shirts, caps, headbands, you can get just about anything from LYM. They make amazing Christmas gifts. Trust me, I have at least one on my list every year.

2. They support pediatric cancer and their non-profit partnerships.


This alone makes my heart melt. Check out the video my crew made for Love Your Melon Day 2016.

3. They donate to kids with cancer.

Can it get any cuter than that? The kids in the hospital are so excited when we come to visit. It makes their day so much better and honestly, to see their faces light up is enough to bring tears to your eyes.

4. They make you feel like a superhero.

Not all superheroes wear capes. Well, at least we don’t get to wear ours all the time. But the light up superhero costumes we get to wear for donation events are a hit amongst the kids.

5. The ambassadors you meet are some of the kindest people you will know.

I love my crew and I look forward to seeing their wonderful faces every Monday for our meetings. They are all so sweet and the compassion they have is what makes you realize that good people do still exist.

6. Every release is like Christmas.

Releases are the best thing ever. Like on cyber Monday this year they have 10 different releases. Like you can count on me ordering like 7 things. Haha.

But in all seriousness, this organization could use your support. Pediatric cancer is quite underfunded. That’s just another reason why Love Your Melon has my heart. They support something that needs funding. Research within pediatric cancer has little funding and for an organization to help support that is huge.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2023, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.

Christmas is literally so close. We can almost taste it. But there is just one thing standing between you and the big day: FINALS. It's not the studying, lack of sleep, last minute cram sessions or crappy food intake that is the worst... but the fact that you cannot focus because, well, CHRISTMAS. How do professors expect you to focus when Christmas is soooo soon. For all my fellow Christmas lovers out there, I feel your pain.

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.
